Color Icicle Red with steel trim. The red is shiny and even toned with black stripes that make the pen an icicle. The red is also semitransparent. There are two black plastic jewels at the end of the pens. The trim is steel.
Nib EXTRA FINE FLEXIBLE #9128 steel nib is smooth with nice tipping material and feed. The 9000 series of nibs have iridium tipping. The 9128 nib is cataloged as Extra Fine Flexible for fine penmanship and Pitman Shorthand. This nib's tines don't spread very far so we're categorizing it as semi-flexible.
Condition Superior condition. There are a few marks on the section but otherwise the pen looks fantastic with very low handwear and clear transparency through the cap. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, personalization, or plating wear. The pen has been fully restored and it's working very well.
